Condition

There is very minor wear to both wooden covers. Some of the leaves inside have come apart at the spine. There is overall light staining to the paper on the inside covers. There are some insect holes to the paper mount around the rubbings on the first leaves and light staining to the paper mounts around the rubbings. The first text after the last rubbing has a vertical crease on the left hand side. The colour of the rubbings is a darker, more saturated tone than the catalogue illustration suggests.
